You joined my facebook group I believe. This is the link to a live feed of me doing the conversion.

It seems that the youtube was removed. Yes, i joined the group. But dont get your post, you said you did with NaOH and not sodium carbonate...dont get everything...XD

This is not a good conversion because I didn't rinse the silver well enough and there was still Hydroxide present.

Perhaps this will help a little.

it's you sreetips? hehe...
I am following you on youtube...very nice video on your chanel!
Actually, i was thinking that you let it in form of AgCl...
Funny, i just ask you a question on your youtube chanel.

IMHO fastest way to convert pure silver chloride to silver metal is to melt the chloride in alkaline medium (NaOH) is what I'm using. All AgCl should be covered with molten caustic to avoid any losses. No need to tell you that working with caustic at these temperatures is EXTREMELY dangerous

put AgCl to diluted HCl and add Zn or Al chunks

Cover the AgCl with 15 parts water and one part sulfuric acid. Throw in a few handfuls of zinc coated roofing nails and mix. Keep mixing. I do this in a 5 gallon plastic bucket. In about half an hour the AgCl will have all been reduced to pure cement silver. Decant the acid water and replace with tap water, then pull out the nails with a magnet. Decant as much of the water as possible, and thoroughly dry the silver in a slow cooker.
